Standard car batteries are lead-acid batteries. Each battery usually has 6 cells which alternate positive and negative. The negative cells are connected to the negative terminal and the positive cells to the positive terminal. Each cell contains a plate made up of lead and lead oxide. The plates are submerged in an electrolyte solution which is a combination of water and sulphuric acid. This allows a chemical reaction to take place which produces the electricity due to differences in electrical potential. The lead in batteries is what makes them so heavy.

i am certain you have an open igntion coils that have opening in the 1st and 2nd windings. what this means is the "The coil is a compact, electrical transformer that boosts the battery's 12 volts to as high as 20,000 volts. The incoming 12 volts of electricity pass through a primary winding of about 200 turns of copper wire that raises the power to about 250 volts. Inside the distributor, this low-voltage circuit is continuously broken by the opening and closing of the points, each interruption causing a breakdown in the coil's electromagnetic field. Each time the field collapses, a surge of electricity passes to a secondary winding made up of more than a mile of hair-like wire twisted into 25,000 turns. At this point, the current is boosted to the high voltage needed for ignition and is then relayed to the rotor" in other words it starts your car. go to the mechanic and find out which one need repair. if you do it yourself they only cost about 20 bucks or the mechanic may charge a few hundred, good luck

The plates in car batteries are lead and lead oxide. The conductive elements are lead. The lead in batteries is not pure lead, but an alloy containing antimony, calcium, silver, and/or tin.

they are not copper, although they have metal plates seperated, and water fills the space........
